John Mayer has worked enough magic on an acoustic guitar to make Jenniifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson bat their eyelashes. Worth a try, isn't it? There's a lot of mood and movement packed into this little two-bar phrase, and it requires you to work a fingerpicked groove that has a feel and strength normally reserved for strums. This is tricky to get underhand, but once you have it you won't want to stop.

that's why he says "its in the style of john mayer". He's not tabbing the song, just teaching a technique.

Wow! I wonder how many videos lessons all these "expert" critics have on the market? It takes far less effort or skill to run your mouth condemning someone for a work than it does to actually create a work. That is probably why critics always outnumber artists.

Wrong bro

[davehoeyen19]

heee that sounds great........thank you for sharring

[greg82380]

It sounds nice, and the style is correct, but he jumps a little bit early on the IV chord if he is trying to play Georgia. This sounds more like Delaware

[CRACKHORSE123]

@TheDguitarman no shit, if he played the actual song there would be copyright issues and the video might get removed...hes just teaching technique

[TheDguitarman]

just saying that this is wrong. John plays an open d string after the open g, then moves up to the 4th fret on the d string and the 5th on the a string. Apart from that it's correct. Just a heads up :)

[RyanHaig]

@Rawfall well i have never heard the song he is covering but it sounds like the timing is right and i don't hear any notes or chords that collash but if you're implying it isn't exactly as jm played it then maybe you're right

[Rawfall]

@RyanHaig no

[aNdYmAtTeR]

Nice one! We even learn how to play "the bottom of the sea"- chord at 1:13

XD

[RyanHaig]

@Rawfall Their ear must be off because that was perfectly in time.

[Rawfall]

@wvgman there must be a lot of guitarplayers among the critics then cause this is very wrong. i know its in the style of jm but still if people think it sounds wrong it means they got ear for this stuff :)
